I didn’t know that. Glad I didn’t buy any yet! Any websites or YouTube videos or books you recommend for a newb?

These are beautiful, awesome job! I’ve been trying out lampwork bead making, but definitely want to give this type of thing a go.

You know I want to learn this 
I just saw Lampwork the other day when @ladysandry was playing with it. Very cool stuff.
Thank you @Kathryn_Bredderman for taking this on.

I’ve got skillset with teaching fusing and stained glass. Limited availability right now though. Day job doesn’t let us out of our cages too often 
…but happy to advise and do some classes later in the year
I did a little networking for us though and am trying to get a donation in so we can get reasonably cheap classes on board

I’m very much interested in learning lampwork and other glass arts. From plate/stained glass to beads or sculptures.
Just an update a dichroic supplier in Austin is setting up a public education institution account so we can get it at cost.

just discovered this, wondering if any classes will be held anytime soon or in the near future
The fired arts area is being redone and I would expect the glass art classes
to follow the redo
Right now we dont really have mush teaching room in the committee area
Keep your eye on Talk and the calendar come January for our new glass classes! We have instructors almost ready for glass slumping and lampworking (beadmaking), both of which will be excellent for beginners.

Since there isn’t a Glass category, and there isn’t a Fired Arts category, in what category will they be listed? Ceramics? Thanks.

On my ever growing list is a note to see how difficult it is to add a glass tag.

I’ve added “Glass Works” and updated “Ceramics” to “Ceramics/Fired Arts”

I get most of mine at Hobby Lobby!!! I’ve ordered online just for variety, but i think it’s actually more expensive! Keep me posted if you find any new vendors! I buy my beads online at:

Michaels is decent, but on some of their glass beads, the color is painted on and comes off when i used epoxy remover products to clean the glue off the glass.
